1,000 houses, according to Wind Farm Resources.

one wind turbine can produce enough energy to power 10000 houses with the right amount of wind.
The maximum power of a Kaplan Turbine is about 230MW
That's easy 475
www.muellerenvironmental.com/documents/GER3567H.pdf discusses many factors affecting gas turbine efficiency. It specifically addresses GE turbines, but the factors discussed are relevant to all gas turbine power generators.
1,000,000 houses
A standard power station produces something like 500 megawatts. A standard wind turbine produces about 5 megawatts.
Supply companies allow 3-4 kilowatts per house for a group of houses so that the different loads average out. On that basis 1.5 GW could be used to power around 400,000 houses.
Technically a steam turbine is a particular type of steam engine. A classic steam engine usually refers to a reciprocating steam engine, which uses a piston and crank arrangement, where pressurised steam (from the boiler) forces the piston through its stroke, producing output power. A steam turbine produces power with pressurized steam expanding to high velocity, and impinging on turbine blades which produce rotational output power. A steam turbine can be considered similar to a windmill, although steam turbines typicaly rotate much faster, and often have many stages of steam expansion within a single machine.
That depends on the power rating of the reactor.
Green energy is the idea. But to be honest, not much power is produced from each wind turbine, so they don't really help very much, that's why you need SO many of them. For instance a typical power station would be 2000 MW, a typical wind turbine is 2 MW. A typical power station could operate at 100% output for 90% of the time. A typical wind turbine operates at 50% output but is only operating for 50% of the time (when the wind is acceptable). So on average the power station can produce 1800MW whereas the wind turbine is about 0.5 MW.
Electricity is generated by turning a turbine. There are many ways to power the turning of the turbine, including: 1) hydroelectric power (water flowing down by gravity via dams or other restrictions can turn turn turbines) 2) burning fossil fuels (coal, gas, oil) 3) nuclear power 4) wind 5) generating steam to turn the turbine (geothermal steam, or by burning fossil fuels or organics like wood or chemicals).
Basically: Radioactive Uranium is made in long rods. At a nuclear power plant, they place many of these rods into water. This water then becomes heated, boils and turns into steam. This steam turns a steam turbine. This turbine is connected to a electrical generator. The spinning generator creates electricity.
